CHAPTER 1
It introduces Changez and it sets the narrative strategist -> Dramatic monologue -> The protagonist speaking to a interlocutor ( he doesn't speak but you understand he is there).
The novel offers his reader elements to guide him to the lecture:
- language
- provenience
- jobs of the characters
How does Changez speak? What kind of language he uses?
He uses a medial language to speak and a body language to describe the American. Hamid wants us to reflect to the way that we present us to a person that we don't know and how the American is the prototype of the culture.
The reader is also alerted by a word written in a different graphic: “Mission” this word reminds to military, to religion, it is a metaphorical word.
